If the defined service name is created on the system, the system checks to ensure that the service type is VPLS. If the created service type is VPLS, the IP interface is eligible to enter the operationally upstate.
On the 7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T, 7210 SAS-K 2F1C2T, and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C, use the R-VPLS tag in the creation of the VPLS service, otherwise the service cannot be bound to an IP interface. This is not required on the 7210 SAS-D and 7210 SAS-Dxp.
